Bilateral vestibular neuronitis can present with delayed onset in the second ear. Nystagmus direction may indicate vestibular dysfunction severity and compensation status.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Vestibular neuronitis is an inner ear disorder causing vertigo.
  • Bilateral involvement is rare, with varied onset times.

Observation:

  • Two cases of bilateral vestibular neuronitis with asynchronous onset (3 weeks and 5 years) were identified.
  • Nystagmus direction remained consistent in the short-interval case.
  • Paralytic nystagmus, corresponding to the affected side, was seen in the long-interval case.

Findings:

  • Nystagmus direction appears linked to vestibular dysfunction severity.
  • In cases with completed vestibular compensation, nystagmus direction reflects the side of canal paresis.

Implications:

  • Understanding nystagmus in bilateral vestibular neuronitis aids in assessing vestibular function.
